How much is the wind and solar complementarity of Palikir solar container communication station

Do wind and solar resources have a complementarity metric system?

To this end, we propose a novel variation-based complementarity metrics system based on the description of series’ fluctuation characteristics from quantitative and contoured dimensions. From this, the complementarity between wind and solar resources in China is assessed, and the trend and persistence are tested.

Are wind and PV power complementary?

A multi-energy complementarity evaluation index system based on the description of fluctuation characteristics is used to evaluate the complementarity of wind and PV power. The results show that wind and PV power are complementary to each other in different time scales, that is, their superposition can reduce their own volatility.

Do wind and solar resources have a gratifying complementarity?

The variation-based complementarity metrics system proposed by this study attempts to describe the complementarity among multiple energy resources as comprehensively as possible and provides sufficient evidence for decision makers. Generally, the wind and solar resources in China have a gratifying complementarity.

Can wind-solar complementarity improve energy supply and demand?

Wind-solar complementarity strongly depends on temporal scale. The anticipated greater penetration of the variable renewable energies wind and solar in the future energy mix could be facilitated by exploiting their complementarity, thereby improving the balance between energy supply and demand.
